Relationships are the metalanguage of the Min Jie school. They allow us to move between the lines of rigid definitions and onto the actual playing field of life. Working directly with classical relationships allows Min Jie practitioners to diagnose and treat complex systems of interrelationships and areas that evade detection if we only focus on the basics of anatomy, channel territories and/or physiology. In essence, being aware of the classical relationships between channels adds dimension to our perspectives and abilities to diagnose and treat our patients.
There are many gems in the Chinese pharmacopoeia that are hidden in plain view. One of the best ways to grasp these hidden gems is by systematically deconstructing the entire pharmacopoeia and going through a process of discovering how this extraordinary material can organically reassemble itself into different forms.
The Min Jie Formulary Companion series is a systematic deconstruction of the Chinese pharmacopoeia based on Category, Taste, Temperature, Territory, Internal Relationships and Number. The first series, of which this is the fifth part, focuses on the deconstruction and reconstruction of category. This volume focuses on the deconstruction and reconstruction of internal relationships by category.
The structure of The Min Jie Formulary Companion may break some taboos in the world of traditional Chinese medicine, but putting our pharmacopoeia into a series of new, systematic and coherent forms helps us to locate what we need in that critical clinical moment. It also helps us to make meaningful comparisons between herbs in our process of differentiation when we’re prescribing. Moreover, it helps us to make connections between herbs and their functions that we might never arrive at without physically seeing them arranged in a variety of ways. Beyond that, novel organization patterns also help us to undergo a more systematic process of assessing, diagnosing, treating and prescribing with our patients.
